JUNEAU – Governor Bill Walker ordered all Alaska Flags be lowered today in honor of former Representative M. Michael Miller of Juneau, who passed away last week. Rep. Miller served in the Alaska Legislature from 1971 to 1986.

“Rep. Miller was active in state and local government throughout his life, and was committed to bettering his community and state,” said Governor Walker. “I send my condolences to his entire family during this time of loss. They can take great pride in the contributions Rep. Miller made to the state of Alaska throughout his life.”
